HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Use the induction cooking zones with correct cookware.

Cookware for induction cooking zones

For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cook-

ware very quickly.

Cookware material

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer

(with correct mark from a manufacturer).

• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction hob if …

• ... some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting..

• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.

The bottom of the cookwar must be as thick and flat as possible.

Cookware dimensions: induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of

the cookware automatically to some limit.

The noises during operation

If you can hear

• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).

• whistle sound: you use one or more cooking zones with high power levels and the cook-

ware is made of different materials (Sandwich construction).

• humming: you use high power levels.

• clicking: electric switching occurs.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not refer to appliance malfunction.

Energy saving

• If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.

• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
